It was 6 years ago today that I started using blogging software on my own account. The software was called Greymatter<\/a> and it still runs years later:<\/p>\n

mjh’s Weblog Entry – 11\/24\/2002: "hello, world!<\/a><\/p>\n

After Greymatter, I switched to MoveableType and, then, settled with WordPress.<\/p>\n

I think I posted my first web pages in 1993, although I don\u2019t believe I have a copy of those. The wonderful Internet Archive Wayback Machine has my AOL pages starting in 1998<\/a>. Good thing, too, since AOL just discontinued that service and I can\u2019t find other backups.<\/p>\n

My public writing goes back at least as far as the letter I wrote my high school newspaper protesting the showing of the Three Stooges at lunch time in the auditorium. I objected to their adolescent violence. The editor added this headline: Lovers of Decency Unite!<\/em> That was probably 1971.<\/p>\n

peace,
mjh<\/p>\n
